    Hunting & Fishing Why hunt bears?

    This varies by GMU, species, and date. The harvest requirements do change through the season. Part of hunting bear here is for the meat, and some of it is population management (keeping Moose and caribou numbers higher). Now, most hunters I know salvage all the meat, regardless of what...

    Hunting & Fishing Why hunt bears?

    As someone who grew up in a non-hunting home, it was odd to me at first too. After living in Alaska, and talking to residents, and wildlife folks, it makes more sense. In AK, the volume of bears is huge, even around the areas close to town. Near Fairbanks, residents can harvest up to 3...

    New Garmin Foretrex 701 with Applied Ballistics!

    If there is a way to get an accurate DA, without having to buy more stuff in addition to the GPS unit, this would be a fantastic option. As someone who is still getting started, running the phone app, trying to slim things down to one or two items versus four.

    Member Link Up Hello Alaska shooters

    Welcome! Where are you at in Alaska? The Valley area has some great people (so I hear), and there are a few of us up in Fairbanks that have some great places to shoot as well. Also, for all Alaska shooters that do not reload, a local shop (Bowman Arms) in Fairbanks is now stocking PRIME ammo.

    Gunsmithing PRS top gunsmiths

    It was a thought that crossed my mind. I am more familiar with folks from the USPSA side of the world, when sponsorship's really have a chance at driving the gear a person uses. In that same note, any one of the top shooters could be given a stock, sub standard gun, and I could have the...

    Gunsmithing PRS top gunsmiths

    I wonder how many of those folks were given the rifle through sponsorship, versus how many bought it with their money. They are fantastic rifles from the few experiences I have with them, just on the pricy side (as most things in this hobby).

    Range Report Warner Tool Flat Line Projectile 122gr 6.5 Variant

    Awesome to see. I enjoy the fact you are not super crazy on reloading, as shooting is the purpose versus shrinking the group that last 1/10". Can't wait to see someone put this in a 6.5 SAUM.

    Suppressors Extreme POI Shift with Saker 762

    On my remington 700 in 308, my Saker had a 1.6 mil shift, straight down. It was consistent for me. It was a large shift, but repeated for me. I had my barrel threaded locally by a well respected smith, and tried two different brakes, with the same shift. This shift was the same regardless of...

    Gunsmithing 1 1/16-16 barrel threads, good or bad

    With the stock Remington threads, it seems like many do not recommend using such a small barrel/bolt. Would this same issue still exist with the pressure because the case web is very similar, but the overall energy is less than a 338 Lapua. And, is there any other custom actions that are long...

    Gunsmithing 1 1/16-16 barrel threads, good or bad

    A friend is selling a new Bartlein barrel, chambered in 300 Norma with zero rounds fired. It was threaded 1 1/16x16, initially for a Bat action. It seems like many of the Lapua bolt face rounds skip the 700 actions and go bigger to get a 0.750" bolt. With the 1 1/16 thread pitch, would I be...

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    Always fun to see how everyone changes their set ups. My "idea" tends to change depending on if I am shooting volume (pistol/USPSA) or precision. I am lucky that I get to move every few years, and I build a new bench at each location. Slowly getting better at knowing what I want, and most of...
